This is an anniversary edition of a highly-regarded account of the
world's most notorious tragedy at sea. In a night of unforgettable
tragedy, the world's most famous liner struck an iceberg on 14
April 1912 and sank. Over 1500 people died. Whose fault it was, and
how the passengers and crew reacted, has been the subject of
continuing dispute over the 100 years since the disaster. This is
an account of Titanic's tragic maiden voyage which also focuses on
some of those who died: among them Titanic's captain Edward Smith
and builder Thomas Andrews, John Jacob Astor, the richest man on
board, and the bandmaster, Wallace Hartley, who played as the ship
sank. In this centenary edition, Stephanie Barczewski traces the
events of that fatal night. Many of those who died were treated as
heroes and how these men were remembered says much about
contemporary values of manhood, chivalry and national pride.
"Titanic: A Night Remembered" also sets the liner in the context of
three ports: Belfast, where she was built; Southampton, which lost
600 citizens as members of her crew; and, Queenstown in Ireland,
her last port of call.
